That's very interesting that she was offered German citizenship, given that the children of Turkish workers born are German soil are not allowed to be German citizens, but also are not given Turkish citizenship. Same with the children of guest workers in other EU countries. As an aside I just did some checking and found out that my daughter has Canadian citizenship even though she's born on US soil - simply because of my Canadian citizenship. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;192386516;25150098;k Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:259716 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
